    That frame is clean and brand new. Skip the Fluid Film and go with something more permanent like a Cosmiline type product. Doesn't wash off like FF or Woolwax does.

    It's not really rubber, but more of a seam sealer type product. I did my 2021 and it did just fine. Getting ready to do my 2022...

    Don't overthink it and coat it with Cosmoline...

    Gooey stuff they applied is not rubber though, you are fine.

    I’m sure There are tens of thousands of 2018 + Tacomas that got cosmoline applied and got no issues.

    Just do it and enjoy life.

    Yeah looks good. I would apply vulcanized rubber over that frame for best results and longevity.
